Application
Emamectin benzoate is usually found as a mixture of two forms, which is a cream coloured powder. It is non corrosive and stable, except that it is flammable and may explode in the presence of strong oxidising agents. Emamectin benzoate is a pesticide which works by interfering with nerve impulses in the body. It is used in agricultural settings to control insects amongst vegetable crops such as cabbage and broccolli and on cotton plants - and in fish farms to control parasites such as sealice.
